Answer:

The correct answer is:

increase prices (B)      

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the measure of how the quantity of goods demanded change, as the selling of the good change. Mathematically, it is represented as the percentage change in the quantity of good demanded divided by the percentage change in the price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand can be; greater than one, less than one, equal to one, zero, or infinite.

If price elasticity of demand is less than one, it is said to be elastic, meaning that the demand for a product is sensitive to the change in price, and an increase in price will cause a reduction in revenue by the seller, while a reduction in price results to an increase in the quantity demanded, hence increasing revenue. For example, an increase in the price of chicken, may cause consumers to go for turkey instead, leading to a reduction in the demand for chicken.

A price elasticity of demand of less than one is termed inelastic, and an increase in the price of the product does not cause a significant drop in the quantity of the goods demanded, and this is the case seen in our example, so increasing the price of the good will increase the revenue.

When PED is equal to one, it is said to be unit elastic, and it means that the quantity demanded varies proportionately with change in price. For example if the price of a product increases by 50%, and 50% of its regular buyers switch to another brand.

A price elasticity of demand of zero is said to be perfectly inelastic, and it means that the demand for a good does not change at all, irrespective of the change in price.

Finally, a PED equal to infinity (∞) is said to be perfectly elastic, and consumers will only buy the product at only one price and nothing more.

Explanation:

In accounting, liability, Income and equity items have credit balances while assets and expenses have debit balances.

With that background, Start by picking balance relating to income and post them to the credit side of the trial balance, like revenue.

After that, pick balance relating to liability post them to the credit side of the trial balance, like trade payable.

Then pick balance relating to equity item, post them to the credit side of the trial balance, like common stock.

After this, pick items relating to asset and post them to the debit side of the trial balance, like trade receivables. Then, pick items relating to expenses and then post them to the debit side of the trial balance.

At the end, all income, liability and equity item balances are posted to the credit side of the trial balance while assets and expenses item balances are posted to the debit side.  And two sides balance.

Remember the purpose of a trial balance is to check the arithmetical accuracy of ledger balances and that was exactly what was done above.
